Grigson: "Luck's contract makes it hard to build a defense"

[TheFlyingWedge]

What a douche - sounds like he is throwing Luck under the bus for being greedy and not "team friendly". Its surprising that he isn't finding some way to blame the Patriots for this.

 

[Koma]

It's too bad that Grigson took over the job after the previous signed Luck to that big contract...Oh, wait...

 

[Deus Irae]

Well, that statement should get Grigson fired. also, Pagano must be dancing a jig right now, because Grigson just gave him a "get out of jail free" card.

 

[SVN]

this is not surprising what he said. After all he thought a few psi was the difference between the colts and pats being competitive. Excuses are his norm.

Grigson: Luck’s contract takes cap space, affects Colts’ defense

Sorry, he's the runnerup on dumbest GM to the one in my neighborhood

• I want me some glory hole
• I knew TB was special (QB) because he married Gisselle
• His acquisition and defense of Greg Hardy
• Says it's "absurd" CTE and football is connected
• I am still so damn mad. I get madder, every day, about missin’ him.” Manziel would “guarantee our relevance for 10 years. I’m still so damn mad at Stephen

...but if Stephen Jones is effectively the Cows GM, then you're right

You know what also makes it hard to build a defense? Spending and wasting top draft picks on offense. 1st round pick for Trent Richardson (currently a free agent).

10/10, excellent photoshop. Can't even spot the pixels.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Hysterical...

Laying blame at the "system" for needing to pay Luck more.

Apparently Grigson is unfamiliar with the ability to draft good defensive players or signing players that can fit in a system.

Hes a slithery, slimy dude. Always shifting blame for his own ****ty team building and soft-as-poop team is a wonderful way to keep your job longer you should. Snake.

Really don't know how Mr. Deflategate sleeps at night.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Im not lucks biggest fan but if 11 qbs have higher cap hits than him then its more than a fair # to spend on your qb, comparatively based on his skills.

Even if it wasnt, you still dont SAY it lmao

Andrew luck is overhyped

Well, he's regressed, which is kind of what happens when you have to run for your goddamn life year after year.

Imagine Brady in last year's playoff game against Denver, and then have that happen over and over again. The guy's been brutalized.

This just in: water is wet, the Pope is Catholic, and bears poot in the woods.

Peyton Manning will be GM in Indy next year, book it.

Oh jeez, more constant pay me tons ball washing by the media....I think I'm going to be sick

First of all, thanks to the OP for finding and posting this. Damn good work!

Second. Is Grigson TRYING to get fired? I mean, maybe he has a cushy, ironclad contract and he's gotten tired of tripping over pills and drug paraphernalia in the hallway and has decided he wants to get fired.

Otherwise, blaming your team's performance on the most important Contract you've negotiated as GM is probably not a great way to endear yourself to a) players, b) the owner, c) the fans and d) the media.

Good one! Thanks. I missed that angle.

 

[Froob]

Shouldn't have fired Polian. Colts had some really underrated defenses from 05-09ish.

 

[The Brandon Five]

So doesn't Grigson's dumb-ness.

 

[Bertil]

This is still the vastly underrated part of the TB12 tenure. He takes team friendly deals in exchange for a chance at immortality. In return he gets it all ...and more!

Mods please delete this thread as we don't want any negative information to get out about Grigson. They might actually fire him and replace him with someone competent.

Why? It's not like they read anything in inbred Indy....
